MinimumSky5 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Can customers tell launch providers to stand down to inspect the rocket beyond the payload support systems? I thought that the rockets internal systems data were only seen by the launch operator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, not just tomorrow, but this whole week is insane. We've got 7 launches coming up, 5 or 6 of which have live webcasts, and at least 2 of which will accomplish important, historic firsts. This isn't just from SpaceX, of course, so this is a bit off topic, but still, this is crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 There is a fairing recovery attempt on the real launch, but in addition they are continuing tests via an air-dropped fairing catch attempt today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Meanwhile, in the field of increasingly futile guesses on BFR- I mean, Starship development, Elon may have dropped another hint on the materials change for those who are still guessing and aren't just letting it go until an announcement. Sounds like the new materials are more scorch-resistant. Yeah, I'll just wait. There's enough excitement on other stuff going on right now, anyway...

Elthy Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Maybe they will go with a non-abaltive heatshield. Copying the shuttle would definetly be counterintuitive xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copying the shuttle would definetly be counterintuitive xD So that might fit in with my guess of a heat resistant carbon fiber, but that's pretty far fetched. Also, hooray for another text updates only launch! /s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
